The Berserk Update 5.5 has completely transformed Anime Rangers X with one of the most rewarding yet surprisingly easy portals to date. I’ve been grinding this portal non-stop since its release, and I’m here to share exactly how to dominate it in 10 seconds or less. Whether you’re hunting for the exclusive Skeleton Knight unit or farming Crying Behelit Souls for crafting, this comprehensive guide will turn you into a Berserk Portal speedrun master.

What makes this portal special? Unlike previous challenging content that required meta teams and perfect execution, the Berserk Portal is shockingly accessible. With just 15 million HP on the boss and low-health mobs, even mid-tier teams can clear it efficiently. Plus, the rewards are absolutely game-changing – we’re talking about units and materials that completely reshape the current meta.

How to Beat the Berserk Portal Fast in Anime Rangers X?

The strategy for conquering the Berserk Portal is refreshingly straightforward, but executing it perfectly makes the difference between a 10-second clear and struggling for minutes. After hundreds of runs testing various team compositions on my Anime Rangers X account, I’ve perfected the ultimate speedrun strategy.

Essential Team Setup

Your team composition doesn’t need to be ultra-meta for this portal. Here’s what actually works:

Primary DPS Unit Requirements:

Minimum 50,000+ base damage after upgrades
AoE capabilities for mob clearing
Fast attack speed (under 2 seconds)
Range of at least 20 to hit from spawn

Recommended Top-Tier Units:

Crimson Owl – Currently the best portal clearer with massive boss damage
Chains of Devil – Lightning-fast attacks perfect for speedruns
Soul King – Highest placement damage obliterates early waves
Pink Sniper – Free Battle Pass unit that surprisingly dominates here
Ichigo (True) – Consistent DPS from placement to finish

The 10-Second Strategy

Here’s my exact speedrun method that consistently clears in under 10 seconds:

Instant Placement (0-2 seconds)
- Place your strongest DPS unit immediately at spawn
- Position them centrally to maximize range coverage
- Don’t wait for perfect positioning – speed matters more
Rapid Upgrade Path (2-5 seconds)
- Dump all resources into your main DPS immediately
- Skip balanced upgrades – go all-in on one unit
- Use hotkeys if on PC for instant upgrades
Focus Fire Boss (5-10 seconds)
- Ignore remaining mobs once boss spawns
- The boss’s 15 million HP melts instantly with proper DPS
- Victory achieved before second wave spawns

Pro Speed Tips:

Enable auto-upgrade if available for hands-free farming
Use placement macros for consistent positioning
Join low-population servers for zero lag
Farm during off-peak hours for smoother runs

Alternative F2P Strategy

Don’t have meta units? No problem! Here’s how to beat it with common units:

Budget Team Composition:

Leaf Ninja (Starter) – Fast attacks and decent damage
Doctor Pirate – Solid legendary that’s easy to obtain
Silent Sting – Great range and consistent DPS
Light Admiral – Tank that can also deal damage

Even with this budget setup, you can clear in 20-30 seconds consistently. The key is proper positioning and upgrade prioritization.

Advanced Farming Strategies (March 2026)

After helping countless players optimize their farming in the official Discord, I’ve discovered several advanced techniques that dramatically increase efficiency:

Private Server Method

Why Private Servers?

No competition for kills
Zero lag from other players
Pause/resume at will
Perfect for overnight farming

Setup Process:

Create or join an empty private server
Set up your team once
Enable auto-clicker or macro
Farm uninterrupted for hours

Expected Results:

150-200 runs per hour
10-15 Skeleton Knights daily
50+ Crying Behelit Souls per session

Multi-Account Strategy

Running multiple accounts simultaneously multiplies rewards:

Requirements:

Multiple devices or PC instances
Separate Roblox accounts (alts allowed)
Basic macro software

Execution:

Load portal on all accounts
Sync start times
Trade rewards to main account
Triple or quadruple farming efficiency

Time Optimization Techniques

Peak Farming Windows:

2 AM – 6 AM EST (Lowest server population)
Tuesday maintenance ends (Fresh servers)
During major updates (Players distracted)

Run Optimization:

Skip animation: Press space immediately
Hotkey upgrades: Use 1-5 keys
Preset positions: Memorize exact placement spots
Reset threshold: Abandon runs over 20 seconds

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even though this portal is easy, I see players making these costly errors daily:

Mistake #1: Over-Preparing

Problem: Waiting for perfect meta team Reality: Budget teams clear just fine Solution: Start farming immediately with what you have

Mistake #2: Spreading Resources

Problem: Upgrading multiple units equally Reality: One maxed unit beats five mediocre ones Solution: All-in on your strongest DPS first

Mistake #3: Ignoring Drop Mechanics

Problem: Leaving before rewards register Reality: Drops calculate after victory screen Solution: Wait 2-3 seconds after clear

Mistake #4: Wrong Server Selection

Problem: Joining crowded servers Impact: Lag increases clear time by 50% Fix: Server hop until you find <10 players

Mistake #5: Manual Farming Only

Problem: Burning out after 20 runs Reality: Portal designed for automation Solution: Use auto-clicker or macro tools

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Berserk Portal permanent or limited time?

The Berserk Portal is part of Update 5.5 and appears to be permanent content. However, certain rewards like event-exclusive units may rotate out, so farming now is recommended.

What level should I be to attempt the Berserk Portal?

Level 25+ is recommended for comfortable clearing. Lower levels can attempt it but will need stronger units or help from teammates. The level requirement is more about having upgraded stats than actual character level.

Can I farm the Berserk Portal AFK?

Absolutely! The portal is designed for AFK farming. Set up auto-upgrade, use a simple macro for placement, and you can farm overnight. Many players report getting 500+ runs while sleeping.

How does Crying Behelit Soul drop rate work?

The drop rate is approximately 5-10% per run, with slight increases on first daily clear. Drop chance is NOT affected by clear time, team composition, or player level – it’s pure RNG.

Should I farm solo or with a team?

Solo is significantly better for the Berserk Portal. The boss has low HP, so splitting rewards with teammates isn’t worth it. Save team play for harder content like Divine Trials.

What should I do with duplicate Skeleton Knights?

Keep one for your team and trade extras. They’re highly valuable in the trading community, often exchanged for multiple mythic units or rare evolution materials.

Does server region affect drop rates?

No, drop rates are consistent across all servers. However, server population affects lag and clear speed, so choose low-population servers for efficiency.

Is it worth using codes rewards on portal runs?

Yes! Use your free gems from Anime Rangers X codes to summon better units for faster clearing. The investment pays off quickly with improved farming speed.

How often does the portal reset?

The portal doesn’t reset – you can run it infinitely. There’s no daily limit, energy system, or cooldown. Farm as much as your time (and sanity) allows!

Will the Berserk Portal get nerfed?

Based on developer patterns, easy portals typically get buffed rather than nerfed. The accessibility is intentional to help newer players catch up to veterans.
